Re: Bots

[Michael Ryan <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a an apache server in front of my iSeries. The front end server is
doing a web service call to the back end i. The front end isn't doing any
checking for bots and such - it's just passing the IP address of its
incoming connection to the back end i. But, if I can change the front end
server to monitor for bots, I can stop it from passing bogus IP addresses
back to the i.
